This cigar offers a very earthy flavor and leather with great complexity in perfect balance with its high strength. Woody, nutty, sweet, fruity and at the same time, with the slight bitter of cocoa. A real festival of taste.

For the cigar connoisseur, this La Aurora Puro Vintage 2006 Salomon is a real tribute to history. The box design itself is one of which that came from the original La Aurora in 1903. This cigar is said to commemorate the 111th year in business for La Aurora, the oldest Dominican cigar company. There were only 1500 boxes released. This special blend comes from a 2006 harvest, making this 9 year old blend a nice treat for any special occasion.
The Puro Vintage 2006 Salomon comes as a 6 1/2 inch by 60 Ring gauge Figurado. This limited cigar has an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper making a nice combination of Medium plus tobacco profiles with binder from Brazil, fillers from Dominican Republic, Brazil and Nicaragua. The blend has notes of nut, wood, and pepper.
There is a nice brown colored Habano wrapper. The main band on the Puro Vintage looks much like years past. There is a secondary 111th Anniversary band to separate this cigar from the rest. So grab yourself a nice glass of red wine, because this cigar is an edition that adds to the long history of LA Aurora Cigars and is definitely worth a try.
